Welcome to this wonderful community.
Something interesting about life; sometimes things don’t go as planned, sometimes you don’t get what you want, sometimes thing go as planned and you get what you want, sometimes you get lucky and maybe unlucky the next day.
Now, I’m sure you searched well to find a job, but you couldn’t get one, and when you heard of the dishwashing job, you decided to go for it. Something you said surprised me; when the owner of the restaurant asked if you had done the work before and you said “No”.. most people will definitely say yes just to get the job (i would’ve said yes).
It was so nice of the restaurant owner to introduce you to that man. It shows there are still good people in this world after all.
I’m glad you did not give up on that idea or just forget about it. You’re right, with dedication and efforts you can achieve your goals. I’ll also like to add consistency. It is a very vital key.
Thanks for sharing. Welcome to the community once again. I hope to read more from you.
Thank you so much @justfavour
You are right that most people would say yes to get a job. There's a reason why I didn't. I started my first job in a cotton and rice import export company from my father's reference. I was 18 years old at that time. The director of the company was my father's friend. They asked me to make a CV. Neither the font sizes nor the alignment were consistent and I must have created the CV at least ten times that day which they kept sending back to me for corrections. I wrote in the CV that I am proficient in MS Office and am also a FoxPro programmer. During drafting my CV I found out how skilled I was.
Now they asked me about FoxPro, there was a bug in their program that I didn't understand. Well! The director called me in the room and said you have just done these courses, practice makes you perfect, so you work here and sharpen your skills with the experienced people here.
Mybe I am wrong, but speaking the truth has given me a lot of growth. After that, I no longer make claims to 100% knowledge; instead, I demonstrate my abilities via my work. But it is crucial to get an opportunity to show your ability. 😁
